    Sounds like a Silver vacation to me!

    We'll never go skiing, Silver doesn't like the cold at all!

    oh man, it sounds AWESOME! I have been to Hawaii 3 times but never to the Big Island! Not sure why, but need to make it a point to get there...

    I would love to see your pics... snorkeling is one of my favorite things to do... I always come home white on the front and VERY tan on the back hours and hours face down in the water... I last snorkeled the Great Barrier Reef in Australia last Sept... magnificent!

    Where did you see the whales? Was that a wahle watching tour? I have NEVER seen one... another thing to add to my "to-do" list...

    you've gotten me all excited just thinking of going... can't wait to see those pictures!

    We made it a point to snorkle every day we were there. And no we were not on a whale watch tour. We were sitting in our favorite little cove called mermaid pond (you can sit in these cool little ponds) and there they were! I cryed it was so cool, the whole thing. The mermaid ponds , the whales , the ocean. Ok ok I am doing pic's right now!

    The first two sjots are us planting coconuts in an area that got wiped out by lava back in the early 90's. It was the only large black sand beach on the big island. Just wiped out. Everyone is planting so the beach can come back faster.
    The rest are pic's of the mermaid ponds. This place is so amazing pictures do not do it justice! this is also where we saw all the whales.I took over 400 pictures. Not of this spot in total. I can share more if you like?

    Brandi, thanks for sharing your trip with us; it sounds positively fantastic. I'm glad that all of you had such a great time.

    I've only been to Hawaii once, but you're making me want to go back. I'm not a beach person, so I love that there are so many other things to do there.

    Welcome home,
